Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, on Thursday, said what Nigeria needs at the moment is a leader who is passionate about the future of the country, just like the late sage, Obafemi Awolowo.

Akeredolu said the people reserve the right to put in place the kind of leadership they want especially ahead of the general elections.

The governor who was represented by his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, spoke at a programme organised by a socio-political group, “The Atulunse Initiative”, in Akure.

He said: “We need to look for visionary leaders like we had Chief Obafemi Awolowo. So let us look at the characters of those that are contesting whether they have the character of Awo or not.
